This just got shared to our work cycling group - apologies if it's already been posted/discussed elsewhere. Usefully discussion of motor-normativity, induced demand, and other terms I'm less familiar with.
"Transport. Everyone has views on it. The proliferation of potholes, the reduction of bus services, the state of the trunk road network and many other apparent failings of the system regularly feature in media articles and conversation, even though most trips occur without delay or incident.
Beyond these day to day concerns, there are several significant underlying issues that affect how people choose to travel, what transport costs, and the effectiveness of transport infrastructure investment, that rarely feature in such discourse and are not well understood outside of academia or transport policy circles. This post briefly introduces some of these key concepts, with a view to informing debate on transport matters in the new parliamentary session, with a particular focus on road transport."
